Tiffin Club, Singapore

A 'tiffin'-which in South Asia is a metal lunch box-is what The Tiffin Club delivers, though they have a sit in restaurant. The food is affordable, very homely yet tasty. Local favorites such as oxtail stew and pork with lotus root are served with modern accompaniments like mango salsa. The menu centers around daily set specials, which don't change all that often. Side dishes include fried chicken wings served with a terrific mango and cucumber salsa, crisp spring rolls with fresh basil and intensely flavored carrot and potato soups.
